Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Reconstruction and the Arc of Racial (in)Justice
Book SynopsisThis collection of original essays and commentary considers not merely how history has shaped the continuing struggle for racial equality, but also how backlash and resistance to racial reforms continue to dictate the state of race in America. Informed by a broad historical perspective, this book focuses primarily on the promise of Reconstruction, and the long demise of that promise. It traces the history of struggles for racial justice from the post US Civil War Reconstruction through the Jim Crow era, the Civil Rights and Voting Rights decades of the 1950s and 1960s to the present day. The book uses psychological, historical and political perspectives to put today?s struggles for justice in historical perspective, considering intersecting dynamics of race and class in inequality and the different ways that different people understand history. Ultimately, the authors question Martin Luther King, Jr.?s contention that the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice, challenging portrayals of race relations and the realization of civil rights laws as a triumph narrative. Scholars in history, political science and psychology as well as graduate students in these fields can use the issues explored in this book as a foundation for their own work on race, justice and American history.Contributors include: E.L. Ayers, T.J. Brown, S. Fein, C.N. Harold, J.M. Hayter, C.F. Irons, J.P. Thompson, E.R. Varon, K.E. Williams, E.S. YellinTrade Review'Julian Maxwell Hayter and George R. Goethals have edited an outstanding collection of essays dealing with the repeated efforts to forge a more inclusive republic in the decades after the American Civil War. In elegantly-crafted pieces ranging from the war years to the heights of the first Reconstruction era, and from the 1960s to the troubled present, these established scholars weave together often-forgotten stories of struggles for racial justice. Tragically, many of them remind us that old victories are rarely permanent, and that the fight continues. An important volume for all studying the long arc of Reconstructions in America.' --Douglas R. Egerton, author of The Wars of Reconstruction: The Brief, Violent History of America's Most Progressive Era'This diverse collection of nine essays examining the short and long term dimensions of Reconstruction offers a rich variety of perspectives for this critical period's impact on our nation's history and contemporary American life.' --Robert Kenzer, University of Richmond, USTable of ContentsContents: Preface Introduction Julian Maxwell Hayter 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on Diversity and Corporate
Book SynopsisChallenging existing research and concepts, this Research Handbook presents cutting-edge insights into diversity and corporate governance. Going beyond the surface of diversity, global expert contributors present diverse chapters offering a wide range of perspectives on the use of theories and methodologies. Integrating multi-disciplinary insights and decades of research and evidence into a historical overview and multilevel framework of diversity and corporate governance, this Research Handbook provides a deep dive into gender, caste and ethnicity. Split into five thematic parts, it provides a full focus on meaning, impact and reflection to provide a much broader look at the topic and illustrates novel theoretical dimensions such as dynamic capabilities and digital expertise. This Handbook will be an excellent resource for scholars researching topics including corporate governance, boards of directors and diversity. The breadth of perspectives offered will also be illuminating and informative for global policy makers and business leaders.Trade Review‘In this stimulating volume, Sabina Tasheva and Morten Huse have curated innovative, inclusive, intersectional, and multilevel perspectives on diversity in the corporate boardroom. The volume’s contributing authors are experts in their research areas and their chapters address real-world and contemporary issues and challenges. Taken together, this book is a call to action to deepen and extend our understanding and practice of board diversity.’ -- Diana Bilimoria, Case Western Reserve University, Ohio, US‘This definitive work edited by two international authorities on diversity in corporate governance sets out with clarity the complexities of diversity, and the importance of intersectionality in explaining continuing structural inequality in representation on company boards. Providing multi-dimensional explanations, the analysis goes beyond social capital and examines the dynamic capabilities of boards, and how diversity may contribute to these. The role of leadership and team dynamics are clearly articulated with reference to performance on contemporary boards of directors and the expert research provides a deeper and wider understanding of the nature of diversity on boards, with fresh and incisive perspectives.’ -- Thomas Clarke, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia‘This is a timely and interesting book for several reasons. First, board diversity is a growing and important phenomenon, but despite a growing bulk of research, there is still a lot to learn about its drivers and consequences. Second, the editors and the authors are passionate governance scholars who have published several studies on board diversity. For these reasons, I consider this book a useful resource for all scholars that want to better investigate and understand such a complex and relevant topic.’ -- Alessandro Zattoni, LUISS Guido Carli University, ItalyTable of ContentsContents: Preface xvi 1 Introduction to Research Handbook on Diversity and Corporate Governance 1 Sabina Tasheva and Morten Huse PART I BOARD DIVERSITY AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE 2 Diversity on corporate boards as a multi-dimensional and multi-level phenomenon: from duality to unity of theoretical and practical perspectives 8 Sabina Tasheva PART II DIVERSITY AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: BEYOND HUMAN CAPITAL, SOCIAL CAPITAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS 3 Gender quotas on boards 20 years on: a useful tool for increased wider diversity?

Liverpool University Press The Ghost in the Constitution: Historical Memory
Book SynopsisThe Ghost in the Constitution offers a reflection on the political use of the concept of historical memory foregrounding the case of Spain. The book analyses the philosophical implications of the transference of the notion of memory from the individual consciousness to the collective subject and considers the conflation of epistemology with ethics. A subtheme is the origins and transmission of political violence, and its endurance in the form of symbolic violence and “negationism” in the post-Franco era. Some chapters treat of specific “traumatic” phenomena such as the bombing of Guernica and the Holocaust.Trade ReviewReviews 'Intellectually engaging, thoughtful, coherent, and logically developed. Resina writes with an elegance of style uncommon among scholars ...the most apt synthesis and expansion of ideas on memory and latency that I have read in recent years.'

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Managing People Across Cultures
Book SynopsisManaging People Across Cultures maps out the value of people issues in the organizations of today. It challenges us to ask key questions such as ?How did Human Resource Management (HRM) come to be and what genuine need is there for it?? and ?What should the future direction of HRM be?? Fons Trompenaars and Charles Hampden-Turner spell out their vision for what HRM must do to stay relevant to businesses today. Their view is that people management must embrace the values of entrepreneurship i.e. agility, flexibility and innovation to ensure its continued effectiveness. The authors also argue that workplaces have to become customized to grow and learn as its employees push the boundaries of learning and discovery. Functional barriers also need to be torn down. You will discover that the rightful place for HRM is at the fountainhead of any business; the place where ideas are first generated and mobilized for action.Trade Review"... attempt[s] to bring balance, insight and logic... the authors succeed admirable in this endeavour…."

Bristol University Press The dispersal and social exclusion of asylum
Book SynopsisThis book establishes asylum seekers as a socially excluded group, investigating the policy of dispersing asylum seekers across the UK and providing an overview of historic and contemporary dispersal systems. It is the first book to seek to understand how asylum seekers experience the dispersal system and the impact this has on their lives. The author argues that deterrent asylum policies increase the sense of liminality experienced by individuals, challenges assumptions that asylum seekers should be socially excluded until receipt of refugee status and illustrates how they create their own sense of 'belonging' in the absence of official recognition. Academics, students, policy-makers and practitioners would all benefit from reading this book. Trade Review"Few pieces of research illustrate so dramatically the disastrous consequences of policies that are constructed without reference to those they are meant to benefit and furthermore, that these consequences seem to have been intentional. Patricia Hynes' valuable study is a strong testimony to the human spirit of those refugees who, despite all, have overcome adversity." Barbara Harrell-Bond, OBE, Founder of Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford, UK"This book provides a vivid account of the experience of asylum seekers in the dispersal system. In documenting its exclusionary impact, it provides a powerful critique of current policies which will be of interest to all those concerned with migration and human rights." Rosemary Sales, Emeritus Professor of Social Policy, Middlesex University, UKTable of ContentsSocial exclusion and refugees; Key terms and concepts; Dispersal; The evolution and geography of dispersal; The process and experience of dispersal; Access to services; Social networks and belonging; Conclusions.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Cervantes' Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda:
Book SynopsisA study which highights the ironic intrusion of novelistic elements in Persiles y Sigismunda, subverting its categorization as pure romance fiction. The lengthy Byzantine romance Persiles y Sigismunda, which Cervantes completed only days before his death in 1616, has conventionally been considered a relatively pure example of romance fiction. This study of genre in thePersiles questions that view by analysing the novelistic or realist aspects of the work. An extensive comparison with examples of Byzantine romance from its Greek origins to its Renaissance evolution highlights the degree to which Cervantes departs from the established canon, notably in the characterisation of the heroine and the significance of the protagonists' wedding, where Cervantes upsets the reader's expectations of a conventional happy ending by consistent use of an ironic mode typical of the work. Multidimensional characters, contrasting perspectives and ironic manipulations produce a kind of 'generic hybridisation' which exposes the fallacies of this type of fiction. MARIA ALBERTA SACCHETTI holds a doctorate from University College London.Table of Contents> Acknowledgements CHAPTER I PERSILES Y SIGISMUNDA: A QUESTION OF GENRE.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Portrayals of Jews in Contemporary Argentine
Book SynopsisAn in-depth study of the presence and representation of Jews in contemporary Argentine film, focusing on films shot since the year 2000. Runner-up for the AHGBI-Spanish Embassy Doctoral Publication Prize for 2017 Notwithstanding the current visual prominence of Jewish life and Jewish culture on the Argentine big screen, surprisingly little has been written about Jewish film characterization in academic scholarship. In order to fill this lacuna, Portrayals of Jews in Contemporary Argentine Cinemaexplores the depiction of the Jews of Argentina in modern Argentine cinema with particular attention to the ways in which Jews and Jewishness interact with issues of national identity. The central aim of the book is to investigate how Argentine cinema negotiates the argentinidad of Jewish Argentines, thereby adding to the mosaic that is the imagined community of Argentina. To this end, key films by both Jewish and non-Jewish directors are scrutinized, shedding light on three main areas: the masculinity of the Jewish gaucho, the effects of the 1994 AMIA bombing and family relations, including fatherhood and the intermarriage between Jews and Gentiles. Organized around these topics, the book comprises four chapters and with the exception of the first, which is a historical exposition of Jewish presence in Argentina and Argentine film, all subsequent ones take a theme-centered approach. Mirna Vohnsen is a faculty member in Spanish and Latin American Studies at Maynooth University.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1- Jews in Argentina, National Cinema and Argentinidad 2 - Jews and Gauchos in Rural Argentina 3 - Trauma and Cultural Memory in the Aftermath of the AMIA Bombing 4 - Family Life and the Jewish-Gentile Marriage Conclusion Filmography

National Gallery Company Ltd Kehinde Wiley at the National Gallery
Book SynopsisPresenting new work by American artist Kehinde Wiley, as he explores the European landscape tradition through film and painting The American artist Kehinde Wiley (b. 1977) is best known for his spectacular portraits of African Americans with knowing references to the grand European tradition of painting. He was commissioned in 2017 to paint Barack Obama, becoming the first Black artist to paint an official portrait of a president of the United States. His work makes reference to old master paintings by positioning contemporary Black sitters in the pose of the original historical figures, raising issues of power and identity, and the absence or relegation of Black and minority-ethnic figures within European art. For his first collaboration with a major UK gallery, Wiley will depart from portraiture to explore the European landscape tradition through the medium of film and painting, casting Black Londoners from the streets of Soho. His new works will explore European Romanticism and its focus on epic scenes of oceans and mountains, drawing inspiration from the National Gallery’s masterpieces in landscape and seascape.Published by National Gallery Company/Distributed by Yale University PressExhibition Schedule:The National Gallery, London (December 10, 2021–April 18, 2022)

The book brings together the latest and most extensive research findings to provide an authoritative account of current theory, policy and practice. Using interdisciplinary frameworks and new empirical data, the book provides a critical and comprehensive account of the shifting, contested connections between rurality, national identity and ethnicity; discusses the relationships between ethnicity, exclusion, policy, practice and research in a range of rural settings - from the experiences of gypsy traveller children in schools to attempts to encourage black and minority ethnic visitors to National Parks and contributes towards establishing the 'rural-ethnicity-nation' relationship as a key consideration on political and policy agendas.

Reaktion Books Romania: Borderland of Europe
Book SynopsisRomania occupies a unique position on the map of Eastern Europe. It is a country that presents many paradoxes. In this book the pre-eminent Romanian historian Lucian Boia examines his native land's development from the Middle Ages to modern times, delineating its culture, history, language, politics and ethnic identity. Boia introduces us to the heroes and myths of Romanian history, and provides an enlightening account of the history of Romanian Communism. He shows how modernization and the influence of the West have divided the nation - town versus country, nationalists versus pro-European factions, the elite versus the masses - and argues that Romania today is in chronic difficulty as it tries to fix its identity and envision a future for itself. The book concludes with a tour of Bucharest, whose houses, streets and public monuments embody Romania's traditional values and contemporary contradictions.Trade Reviewa well-written, well-translated and well-illustrated book ... much more than a tourist guide ... both useful and enlightening from a historical and cultural point of view. Choice ... an interesting and timely contribution to our growing understanding of the regional geography of a post-communist country about which relatively little is known ... Boia's book is noteworthy as it is neither a simple regional geography nor is it a travelogue ... a wonderful book about Romania ... a useful aid to critical understanding - one unfettered by the more common preoccupation with potted histories and dry trade statistics. Scholars will value it for its theoretically sophisticated approach and its respect for its readership. Geography

Watkins Media Limited Strange Hate: Antisemitism, Racism and the Limits
Book SynopsisHow did antisemitism get so strange?Life-long anti-racists accused of antisemitism, life-long Jew haters absolving themselves by declaring their love of Israel. Today, antisemitism and philosemitism seem selective, as if Jews offered themselves up as a kind of buffet, in which non-Jews get to choose the good ones they like and the bad ones they reject.In this passionate yet closely-argued polemic from a writer with an intimate knowledge of the antisemitism controversy, Kahn-Harris argues that the emergence of a selective anti-racism demonstrates how far we are from understanding what living in diverse societies really means.Strange Hate calls for us to abandon selective anti-racism and rethink how we view not just Jews and antisemitism, but the challenge of living with diversity.Trade Review"I can’t be alone in feeling immense gratitude for this provocative, judicious and ultimately generous book. I wish everyone currently trapped inside an echo chamber would come offline and read it. Strange Hate reveals how we're all too often selective anti-racists, loving some members of a group only to hate the rest in the name of politics rather than prejudice. But Kahn-Harris not only identifies the persistent problems and blind spots to have bedevilled anti-racism, he dares to imagine practical solutions to them as well. Could there be a more timely intervention? Even if you don’t agree with every move he makes, you’ll surely want to applaud him for writing it." - Dr Devorah Baum, author of Feeling Jewish (A Book For Just About Anyone)“Kahn-Harris performs the essential task of providing an entire glossary of terms of reference for the latest evolution of the most ancient hatred. This is a concise and elegantly written guide to antisemitism in the 21st century which excels in being both humorous and deadly serious at the same time. Essential to understanding how Western society must confront racism in the age of Trump and Corbyn.” - Anshel Pfeffer, author of Bibi: The Turbulent Life and Times of Benjamin Netanyahu“I try and read everything Keith Kahn-Harris writes on British Jews and this intelligent book, on how anti-racists have lost their way, and how they can find their way back, is no exception.” - Ben Judah, author This Is London"Few issues have been more vexing for today's left than the question of antisemitism. Jews have many different definitions and approaches to the issue, and non-Jews pick and chose which Jews to follow on it. Unlike other books, Strange Hate offers no clearcut definition of antisemitism, but instead shows how this question unsettles the Left's own notions of liberation, oppression, hatred, and tolerance." - Dr Spencer Sunshine, Associate Fellow at Political Research Associates

To tell his story, Cloyd incorporates photographs and Japanese writing, history, and memory to convey both rich personal experience and significant historical detail.

2Leaf Press Strength of Soul
Book SynopsisNaomi Raquel Enright's Strength of Soul proposes tangible strategies and ideas on how to challenge systemic racism through naming and resisting the ideology of racial difference and of the white supremacy at its root. Enright explores racism and the language that upholds this ideology through personal narratives that include an examination of her family’s experience. Throughout this volume, Enright shares reflections of her identity growing up as a bilingual, multiethnic individual, and as the mother of a son presumed to be white. She also advances ideas about how to confront societal notions of an inherent difference between the lived experiences of white people and everyone else, notions which result in the widely held belief that there is an inevitable “us” and “them.” Enright suggests that embracing one’s total identity can allow people to challenge systemic racism as well as the language and ideology that created it and upholds it. In these poignant and deeply personal stories, Enright allows readers to imagine a society on a genuine path towards justice, healing, and true transformation. Strength of Soul is for anyone who is willing to rethink the status quo and is interested in creating systemic change regarding institutionalized and internalized racism.

2Leaf Press Trailblazers, Black Women Who Helped Make Americ
Book SynopsisSince slavery, Black women have struggled to liberate themselves from racism and sexism. Yet despite these hurdles and under the most difficult circumstances, they managed to achieve greatness. TRAILBLAZERS shines a light on these their accomplishments, which often led to widespread cultural change. TRAILBLAZERS is a six-volume series that examines the lives and careers of over four hundred brilliant women from the eighteenth century to the present who blazed uncharted paths in every conceivable way. Each TRAILBLAZERS volume is organized into several sections. Along with biographical information and powerful photographs, David provides a historical timeline for each section—written from the viewpoint of Black women—that maps out the significance of the featured women that follow. Volume 1 features an assortment of sixty-five activists, dancers, and athletes. We learn about the significance of activists like Ella Baker, Pauli Murray, Rosina Tucker, and Clara Day, who represent the hundreds of unnamed women who participated in the civil rights and labor movements. We re-discover dancers Jeni Legon and Margot Webb, who are honored alongside dance legends Josephine Baker, Katherine Dunham, Janet Collins, and a new generation of dancers including Misty Copeland, Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards, and choreographers like Camille A. Brown, and Cynthia Oliver. And then there are the Black women athletes who disrupted the world of sports, from the nearly forgotten tennis champion Ora Washington and Alice Coachman—the first to compete and win in the Olympics—to Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in Olympic history. Throughout the series, as David re-introduces many of these women into the public sphere, they are not always in predictable ways. For example, Debbie Allen makes a brief appearance in this volume, not for her acting or as a director, but rather as the dancer she initially trained to be, reminding us that Black women are multifaceted, multitalented, and complex. What binds these women together is that as they struggled on the front lines, they shook up the status quo of Black people in America. Throughout the volume, David also challenges the socially conditioned assumptions, stereotypes, and false binaries that denigrate Black women’s bodies particularly in dance and sports, including the barriers they face in how they wear their hair. In this regard, David addresses the totality of Black womanhood: physically, culturally, and politically. With painstaking research, David has created an affordable, visually rich, and accessible reference book. From the foremothers who blazed trails and broke barriers, to the women who follow in their footsteps, TRAILBLAZERS offers powerful and inspiring role models for women and girls from all cultural backgrounds and for the intellectually curious. TRAILBLAZERS is a clarion call for recognition of the transformative work Black women have done and continue to do. Written in accessible prose that contains personal reflections for a broad audience, TRAILBLAZERS also serves as a vital reference guide for use in schools and libraries. Trade Review"The first volume of an interdisciplinary, intersectional reference collection on influential Black women. . . . an inspiring, comprehensive work. With a multidisciplinary background in music, design, and poetry, David provides the model of activist scholarship that combines academic nuance and sophistication with an engaging writing style that is accessible to general readership, such as David’s essay that convincingly demonstrates how women served as the 'foot soldiers' of the civil rights movement. Backed by impressive endnotes and references, each chapter is encyclopedic in breadth while offering fresh analytical insights into Black women who are well covered in the existing literature, like Rosa Parks. . . . Accompanied by dozens of stark, powerful black-and-white photographs and portraits, this is a visually arresting volume whose words match the power of its images. An exciting resource in a promising, thorough multivolume celebration of Black women." * Kirkus *"Trailblazers offers a depth unequalled in the arena of black women achievers, making this first volume in a six-book series a top recommendation for judicious collections. . . . Trailblazers, Black Women Who Helped Make America Great, American Firsts/American Icons is highly recommended for collections strong in women's issues, minority history and social change, and biography alike. There's nothing in print that holds the same depth of historical and social analysis, the attention to researched, footnoted facts . . . or the same ability to inspire." -- D.

West Virginia University Press Shattered: Fragments of a Black Life
Book SynopsisA heartrending and engrossing memoir that challenges narratives of racial progress and postracial America.From a distance, Matthieu Chapman’s life and accomplishments serve as an example of racial progress in America: the first in his family to go to college, he earns two master’s degrees and a doctorate and then becomes a professor of theater. Despite his personal and academic success, however, the specter of antiblackness continues to haunt his every moment and interaction. Told through fragments, facets, shards, slivers, splinters, and absences, Shattered places Chapman’s own story in dialogue with US history and structural analysis of race to relay the experience of being very alive in a demonstrably antiblack society—laying bare the impact of the American way on black bodies, black psyches, and black lives. From the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the offices of higher education, from a Loyal White Knights flyer on his windshield to a play with black students written by a black playwright, Chapman’s life story embodies the resistance that occurs, the shattering, collapsing, and reconfiguring of being that happens in the collisions between conceptions of blackness. Shattered is a heartrending and thought-provoking challenge to narratives of racial progress and postracial America—an important reminder that systemic antiblack racism affects every black person regardless of what they achieve in spite of it.Trade ReviewEvery so often, a book comes along that changes the way we see, speak, and think about the world. Shattered is one of those books. Chapman’s relentless prose interweaves compelling narrative with groundbreaking critical race theory in an unflinching analysis of the day-to-day violence inflicted on black beings in an antiblack world. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of race relations in America and answers to why black liberation remains deferred."—Frank B.

Rutgers University Press Black Space: Negotiating Race, Diversity, and
Book SynopsisProtests against racial injustice and anti-Blackness have swept across elite colleges and universities in recent years, exposing systemic racism and raising questions about what it means for Black students to belong at these institutions. In Black Space, Sherry L. Deckman takes us into the lives of the members of the Kuumba Singers, a Black student organization at Harvard with racially diverse members, and a self-proclaimed safe space for anyone but particularly Black students. Uniquely focusing on Black students in an elite space where they are the majority, Deckman provides a case study in how colleges and universities might reimagine safe spaces. Through rich description and sharing moments in students’ everyday lives, Deckman demonstrates the possibilities and challenges Black students face as they navigate campus culture and the refuge they find in this organization. This work illuminates ways administrators, faculty, student affairs staff, and indeed, students themselves, might productively address issues of difference and anti-Blackness for the purpose of fostering critically inclusive campus environments. Trade Review“Sherry Deckman has written an important volume about how space, place, and identity are racialized through campus life that is truly a gift. People should read, reflect, and hopefully struggle with the complexity presented in this study because of its implications for how we work towards diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.” -- W. Carson Byrd * Faculty Director of Research Initiatives, National Center for Institutional Diversity, University of Michigan *"Deckman’s treatment of cultivating safe Black space in an elite, predominately white university context is masterful and instructive. As it turns out, mission, commitment, transparency, respect, care, and most importantly, love comprise the necessary chords to maintain a racially safe space for Black students that centers blackness and where non-Black students may also choose to participate. How much better off our schools and universities would become if only they embodied the lessons that Deckman beautifully conveys." -- Keffrelyn D. Brown * Suzanne B. and John L.

Rutgers University Press An Unseen Unheard Minority: Asian American
Book SynopsisHigher education hails Asian American students as model minorities who face no educational barriers given their purported cultural values of hard work and political passivity. Described as “over-represented,” Asian Americans have been overlooked in discussions about diversity; however, racial hostility continues to affect Asian American students, and they have actively challenged their invisibility in minority student discussions. This study details the history of Asian American student activism at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, as students rejected the university’s definition of minority student needs that relied on a model minority myth, measures of under-representation, and a Black-White racial model, concepts that made them an “unseen unheard minority.” This activism led to the creation on campus of one of the largest Asian American Studies programs and Asian American cultural centers in the Midwest. Their histories reveal the limitations of understanding minority student needs solely along measures of under-representation and the realities of race for Asian American college students.Trade Review“This timely and interesting study of Asian American activism in the Midwest asserts that the model minority myth led to Asian American students’ exclusion from protected minority status even though they still faced discrimination on and off campus.” -- Stephanie Hinnershitz * author of 'A Different Shade of Justice: Asian American Civil Rights in the South' *“Lee presents a vibrant history of Asian American college students in the Midwest—far from typical Asian American population centers—and how they forged their own agenda for racial justice.” -- OiYan Poon * Colorado State University *“This timely and interesting study of Asian American activism in the Midwest asserts that the model minority myth led to Asian American students’ exclusion from protected minority status even though they still faced discrimination on and off campus.” -- Stephanie Hinnershitz * author of 'A Different Shade of Justice: Asian American Civil Rights in the South' *“Lee presents a vibrant history of Asian American college students in the Midwest—far from typical Asian American population centers—and how they forged their own agenda for racial justice.” -- OiYan Poon * Colorado State University *Table of ContentsSelect Timeline of Asian American Student Activism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) List of Abbreviations Foreword by Joy Williamson- Lott Preface Introduction: The Invisibility of Asian Americans in Higher Education Diversity Discussions 1: The Historiography of Asian American College Students 2: Making Noise in the Background: Asian American Students at Illinois, 1968-1975 3: We are Not Model Minorities: A New Asian American Student Movement, 1975-1992 4: We are Minorities: The Fight for Asian American Studies and Student Services, 1992-1996 5: Seeing and Hearing Asian American Students List of Oral history Interviews Acknowledgments Select Bibliography Index

Rutgers University Press Making Choices, Making Do: Survival Strategies of
Book SynopsisMaking Choices, Making Do is a comparative study of Black and white working-class women’s survival strategies during the Great Depression. Based on analysis of employment histories and Depression-era interviews of 1,340 women in Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and South Bend and letters from domestic workers, Lois Helmbold discovered that Black women lost work more rapidly and in greater proportions. The benefits that white women accrued because of structural racism meant they avoided the utter destitution that more commonly swallowed their Black peers. When let go from a job, a white woman was more successful in securing a less desirable job, while Black women, especially older Black women, were pushed out of the labor force entirely. Helmbold found that working-class women practiced the same strategies, but institutionalized racism in employment, housing, and relief assured that Black women worked harder, but fared worse. Making Choices, Making Do strives to fill the gap in the labor history of women, both Black and white. The book will challenge the limits of segregated histories and encourage more comparative analyses. Trade Review"Making Choices, Making Do is a remarkable study that recasts the 1930s working class through the lens of black and white women's experiences during the Great Depression. Analyzing how race, immigration, and gender shaped women's survival strategies, Helmbold opens up fresh interpretive possibilities and an intersectional, comparative, and feminist methodological approach to defining class." -- Keona Ervin * author of Gateway to Equality: Black Women and the Struggle for Economic Justice in St. Louis *"Deeply researched in remarkably rich sources, this fine study takes us into the lives of working class women—their budgets, jobs, struggles, interactions with authorities, worries, and dreams. Full of insights regarding gender, immigration, and family, the book especially succeeds in its careful comparisons of women’s lives across the color line dividing African American and white women, capturing both common oppression and critical differences." -- David Roediger * author of The Sinking Middle Class: A Political History *"No one knows the social history of working-class women better than Lois Helmbold, and no one has written with more insight and sensitivity. By uncovering the everyday lives and struggles of working women, she manages to recast the story of the Depression-era labor upheavals in completely new light. Making Choices, Making Do ought to be required reading." -- Robin D. G.

Rutgers University Press Scratchin' and Survivin': Hustle Economics and
Book Synopsis The 1970s was a golden age for representations of African American life on TV sitcoms: Sanford & Son, Good Times, The Jeffersons. Surprisingly, nearly all the decade’s notable Black sitcoms were made by a single company, Tandem Productions. Founded by two white men, the successful team behind All in the Family, writer Norman Lear and director Bud Yorkin, Tandem gave unprecedented opportunities to Black actors, writers, and producers to break into the television industry. However, these Black auteurs also struggled to get the economic privileges and creative autonomy regularly granted to their white counterparts. Scratchin’ and Survivin’ discovers surprising parallels between the behind-the-scenes drama at Tandem and the plotlines that aired on their sitcoms, as both real and fictional African Americans devised various strategies for getting their fair share out of systems prone to exploiting their labor. The media scholar Adrien Sebro describes these tactics as a form of “hustle economics,” and he pays special attention to the ways that Black women—including actresses like LaWanda Page, Isabel Sanford, and Esther Rolle—had to hustle for recognition. Exploring Tandem’s complex legacy, including its hit racially mixed sitcom Diff’rent Strokes, he showcases the Black talent whose creative agency and labor resilience helped to transform the television industry. Trade Review"Adrien Sebro's fascinating and instructive look at these series will force industry stakeholders to see and pursue them anew." -- Beretta E. Smith-Shomade * editor of Watching While Black: Centering the Television of Black Audiences *“This is what the next generation of scholarship on critical black television and media studies look like—original, probing, curious, courageous, confident. By taking on complex questions of Black family life, social class, passing and Black difference, and the role of Black women, Scratchin’ and Survivin’ reframes the radical nature of the meanings, impacts, and struggles over representation and production.” -- Herman S. Gray * author of Cultural Moves: African Americans and the Politics of Representation *"In Scratchin’ and Survivin’, Adrien Sebro pays close attention to and honors the often-invisible labor of Black culture industries workers. Using the framework of 'hustle economics,' Sebro uncovers a treasure trove of hidden and archival transcripts that give voice to Black-cast sitcom stars like Redd Foxx and Esther Rolle as more than talented actors, but Black Americans working in Hollywood trying to get, as The Jeffersons’ theme song says, their 'piece of the pie'.” -- Alfred L.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Get Your Knee Off Our Necks: From Slavery to
Book SynopsisThe death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, and the ensuing trial of Derek Chauvin for murder a year later has rubbed raw the bloodiest stain on the United States’ history and its world reputation. The nine minutes and 29 seconds during which Chauvin’s knee crushed the spark of life out of Floyd was not unusual in the history of the United States. Before the U.S. Civil War, slaves were routinely beaten to death for disobeying orders or running away, then often lynched. In roughly two centuries, Blacks have achieved nominal freedom. But, as this book’s opening chapter and expert essays that follow indicate, freedom has been conditional based on inequity of wealth, social, and legal discrimination. None of this is new in the United States; what is new is the number of people rising up in protest, a figure in the millions around the world after Floyd’s murder.This book supplies a readable, scholarly account of recent issues in race and racism in the United States that will be useful for general readers, undergraduate students, and their professors. It will be useful in many fields, including Black studies, other ethnic pursuits, United States history, law, criminal justice, intercultural communication, et al. The work contains a powerful historical narrative followed by several important, essays on subjects including George Floyd’s murder, the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement and many other victims of systematic racism.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Livelihoods of Ethnic Minorities in Rural
Book SynopsisThe book provides empirically-rich case studies of the lives and livelihoods of marginalised ethnic minorities in colonial and post-colonial Zimbabwe, with a specific focus on diverse rural areas. It demonstrates the dynamic and complex relationships existing between ethnic minorities and livelihoods, and analyses the ways in which projects of belonging (and identity-formation) amongst these ethnic minorities are entangled in their respective livelihood construction projects, and vice versa. The ethnic minorities include those considered indigenous to Zimbabwe, and those often defined as ‘aliens’, including ethnicities with a transnational presence in southern Africa. The ethnicities studied in the book include the following: Chewa, Doma, Tonga, Tshwa San, Shangane, Basotho, Ndau, Hlengwe and Nambya. By studying their livelihoods in particular, this book offers the first full manuscript about ethnic minorities in Zimbabwe. In doing so, it highlights the significance of these ethnic minorities to Zimbabwean history, politics and society.Table of ContentsHistoricising and Theorising the Livelihoods of Ethnic Minorities in Zimbabwe.- The Tshwa San of Zimbabwe: Land, Livelihoods, and Ethnicity.- Migrants, Ethnic Minorities and ‘Men of the Soil’: Basotho Farmers in Southern Rhodesia.- Displacement and Livelihood Vulnerability among the BaTonga Women of Binga from 1958 to 1980.- Transformations in the Livelihood Activities of Hlengwe People of the South-East Lowveld of Zimbabwe, 1890 to Now.- The Impact of Community-based Conservation on the Livelihoods of the Doma in the mid-Zambezi Valley.- Human-Wildlife Conflict and Precarious Livelihoods of the Tonga-speaking people of North-western Zimbabwe.- The Political Economy of Shangane Livelihoods in Rural Zimbabwe.- Land, Displacement and Livelihood Strategies among the Nambya People in North-western Zimbabwe, from the 1940s.- (Re)Inventing Livelihoods in Communal Areas in post-Fast Track Zimbabwe: The Case of Chewa Ex-farm Workers in Shamva Communal Areas.- Cultural Economic Survival under Crisis: Malawian Nyau Dances and Zimbabwe’s Economic Meltdown.- Ethnicity and Livelihoods in Precarious Times: The Case of the Ndau People of Chimanimani.- Changing Borderland Livelihoods and Coping Strategies among “Indigenous People”, “Malawians” and “Mozambicans” in Honde Valley since the 1970s.

Springer International Publishing AG Black Men’s Health: A Strengths-Based Approach
Book SynopsisNow more than ever there is a need to focus on Black men's health in higher education and ensure that future practitioners are trained to ethically and culturally serve this historically oppressed community. This textbook provides practical insight and knowledge that prepare students to work with Black men and their families from a strengths-based and social justice lens. There is a dearth in the literature that discusses the prioritization of Black men’s health within the context of how they are viewed by societal approaches to engage them in research, and health programming aimed at increasing their participation in health services to decrease their morbidity and mortality rates. Much of the extant literature is over 10 years old and doesn't account for social determinants of health, perceptions of health status, as well as social justice implications that can affect the health outcomes of this historically oppressed population including structural and systemic racism as well as police brutality and gun violence.The book's 13 chapters represent a diversity of thought and perspectives of experts reflective of various disciplines and are organized in four sections: Part I - Racial Disparities and Black Men Part II - Black Masculinity Part III - Black Men in Research Part IV - Social Justice Implications for Black Men's Health Black Men’s Health serves as a core text across multiple disciplines and can be utilized in undergraduate- and graduate-level curriculums. It equips students and educators in social work, nursing, public health, and other helping professions with the knowledge and insight that can be helpful in their future experiences of working with Black men or men from other marginalized racial/ethnic groups and their families/social support systems. Scholars, practitioners, and academics in these disciplines, as well as community-based organizations who provide services to Black men and their families, state agencies, and evaluation firms with shared interests also would find this a useful resource.Table of ContentsPart I - Racial Disparities and Black Men Chapter 1 Modern Epidemiological Impacts on Black Men’s Health: Using a Social Justice-Oriented Analysis Raymond Adams Chapter 2 Black Men and Healthy Together: Self-Management of Chronic Disease and Behavioral Health Everlina Sterling, Vanessa Robinson-Dooley, Carol Collard, , and Tyler Collette Chapter 3 Positionality and Unpacking Current Perspectives on Black Male Health Towards Transformative Action Brian Culp Part II - Black Masculinity Chapter 4 Beyond Moving the Ball in Youth Sports: Making the Case for Mental Health for Black Youth Vanessa Robinson-Dooley Chapter 5 The Psychological Colonization of Black Masculinity: Decolonizing Mainstream Psychology for White Allies Working in Mental Health with Black Men Hans Skott-Myhre and Kathleen Skott-Myhre Chapter 6 Black Masculinity Remixed Troy Harden and John Zeigler Chapter 7 Building a Movement with Black Men: Culture Is the Key Jerry Watson and Gregory Washington Part III - Black Men in Research Chapter 8 Asserting Voice: Navigating Service Delivery and Community Resources Jennifer A.

De Gruyter Race and Racism in Latin America and the
Book SynopsisRace and Racism in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Crossview from Brazil discusses the racial issue in Latin America by inserting Brazil’s perspective within the regional debate, at once contrasting with more common nationally-focused perspectives and highlighting the exchange between the luso and hispano worlds. Through this dialogical scheme, the volume aims to offer a panorama of the historical and contemporary debates on the racial issue across the region. It emphasizes, in particular, slavery’s inheritance, the persistent subordination of the black population along with its mobilization and exchanges, the centrality of the anti-racist struggle and its main actors and intellectuals, the impact of multicultural and racial equality policies, and the development of categorizations. Race and Racism in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Crossview from Brazil brings about the need to enlarge knowledge on the black population in the region, identifying national particularities, distinct historical contexts and forms of categorization and relations with other ethnic groups, The volume also illustrates a current state of affairs, underscoring new debates and challenges which arise in a context of sanitary crisis and black genocide.
